<p>Grab the SPADE deliverable package at <a class="ulink" href="http://spade2.googleprojects.com" target="_top">http://spade2.googleprojects.com</a>. Uncompress it and launch the <span class="command"><strong>configure.py</strong></span> script in order to configure the platform. You can provide a parameter to this script, which is the machine's hostname and that will be used as the platform's name. Finally, launch the <span class="command"><strong>runspade.py</strong></span> script and see your platform rise before your eyes. After a few seconds you should see the green word <span class="command"><strong>Done</strong></span> on the screen confirming that the platform was succesfully launched. In a nutshell:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ tar xvzf spade-2.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd spade
$ python configure.py myhost.myprovider.com
$ python runspade.py
</pre>
<p>And that's it. If everything went well, congratulations! You have succesfully installed SPADE! If something went wrong, don't panic!, head to chapter XXX "FAQ and Troubleshooting" for answers or follow the rest of this manual to know a lot more about SPADE.</p>
